Practising What I Preach?
I’ve lost my way with this blog, partly due to … someone being much quieter this year, for one. And now my muse has escaped me. The past several weeks has been all change, on a personal note. I fly out to Sydney in two weeks time. We move to Glasgow on Friday. And if…
Still Just A Small Taster
My collection of Virginia Turbett prints of Simple Minds grows slowly yet strongly. A new batch arrived last week and I wanted to show what is in it without comprising the copyright of Virginia’s images. This is still just a small taster, and probably now the last you will see.

Another Magic Nine?
Since I booked the gigs last night, I had in my head that I had 8 SM gigs booked for next year, convinced I had (without really thinking in those terms to begin with) fallen one short of this magical 9 figure I’d fallen upon these past couple of years. But…obviously I was neglecting to…

Sydney – Melbourne – Bimbadgen
Pleasure In Pain…
The Sweat In Bullet video….honestly…when it gets to this point, I’m like “Whip me. Just fucking whip me with that mic cord. Just do it. Break the skin. Just frigging hurt me!” He’s delicious… Man, I need help! (Been a long time since I spoke like this on the blog. I can feel a dark…
